Abstract

Soft contact lenses presoaked in pilocarpine 2% for 12 hours and placed over cornea in cases of acute angle closure glaucoma are definitely useful in reducing the intra ocular pressure and is a better method as compared to conventional method of drug delivery.

Keywords-soft contact lens, drug delivery, pilocarpine 2%.
